OK, so we know we've been bitching about MUNI more than usual for the past few days. But personal revenge? So unlike you. See, we happened to be on the T line (meeting a visiting relative at Caltrain) this evening, along with a full load of people who wanted to get to a train and go home. The train stopped in the subway for nearly half an hour, exhibiting all of the usual traits of an epic train failure
1) A driver who communicated nothing about what was going on.
2) An annoyed passenger with a folding bike who asked just to be let off the train after it got above round and waited for another ten minutes
3) Cell phones coming out everywhere, phrase "stuck on MUNI, don't hold dinner" reverberating throughout the train.
Finally, the cause was revealed - a broken N-Judah train that for some reason took forever to reroute. Now we're waiting on the outbound platform (thanks to Google for the wireless!), watching train after train go by to the station. Apparently it's going to take them some time to get back here, which means that they'll be packed, slow, and screwed up for the rest of the evening. Sorry, Inner Sunset dwellers! Going to be a rough night.

Yikes! I hate it when something happens and NO ONE goes on the speaker to explain what is up. Even if it's "something has happened, we're trying to find out" would at least reassure folks.
I feel guilty now as I seem to have been on the speedy N outbound earlier this evening...not sure how or why...anyway I feel your pain!

It's time for Nathanial Ford to go. There is absolutely no communication between Nathanial Ford's MUNI and its passengers. How is this man the highest paid city official? How can it be possible? There was no media advisory for MUNI about this delay. Nothing stopping passengers from entering the underground during this delay instead of using an alternate route. This happens over and over again and there is nobody who is leading MUNI into the 21st Century.
